Dear Matrix Multimedia

Apart from the ECIO with its USB programming interface, are you going to offer any USB support in Flowcode for the USB enabled PICs so we can send data to/from the running code via the USB? I looked at some previous messages, and you were recommending use of RS232 and FTDI ...

Hi Steve and Benj

Thanks for your help. I see how the problem can be fixed. I'll stick to values under 255ms for now. Presumably a change to the delay routine which could correctly pass larger values could be made in flowcode, rather than having to call several separate delays.

On a different ...

THanks STeve

Your reply came as I was composing the last post. I enabled the W2 switch and can see the warnings. However, I dont understand what to do - tried BYTE variables, and I think they just get truncated to 255. Are you saying that to get more than a 255 delay, I have to put in several delay ...

Hi Benj

Not quite sure how to attach code to the reply, so I guess I just embed it. The code used Macros, so I wonder if they can cause problems. Anyway, it flashes morse "SOS" on the built in LED, and works if delay1 is less than 255/3.

Sorry - dont know how to embed the .fcf file, and I dont ...

I tried to write some simple code to flash the on-board LED according to a DELAY programmed by variables. Although I have selected INT variables, I can see that the code goes wrong above 255, indicating it is using a BYTE variable. Are there known problem with this. BTW - I am currently using the ...
